Hey cutie! So what inspired this gloveless lifting recently? Just curious.
Looking fly, as always. Damn I need to put up more pix 
I always use a mixed grip for RDLs, but Iām super flexy so I never feel like my hammies get cheated.
Check out your FST7! I like it!
Your booty is looking deeeelicious!! Lol, sorry that is the best possible word I could think of to describe it. Thanks for the info about the diet, I know that was from pages ago, but still very helpful to mee!! I sort of do that blood sugar spike thing first thing in the morning and right after my workouts when I am trying to gain muscle, only I find it super hard to control cravings for the rest of the day when I intentionally eat high GL foods. Maybe I should read the whole book so I understand the total picture. Way to tear those legs up, that is a ton of weight you are leg pressing for reps!
Hmm I almost always leg press at the end of my workout.
Ha! I love when people break out in song, I do that a lot.
I hear about people hurting their back on the leg press, but that doesnāt happen to me. Also, when I hurt my back from squat, I usually go to the leg press as a substitute and I donāt have an issue. Hmm.
Veg, I go gloveless for squats, leg presses and extensions (maybe anything dealing with quads), arm work, pressing (both benching and OHP), etc. Anything where friction isnāt a problem for my hands, for the calluses reason. As for gloveless DB rowing, I took them off originally for the dare, but Iām intrigued by doing them without gloves now. Only because theyāre harder. Iām a person that likes a challenge; if thereās room for improvement, Iāll try to close the gap to perfection.
Sorry owlie, I took forever with that last post, watching Criminal Minds. I love this episode, the guy is a con artist but his lies are catching up to him. Just now heās going to ask āWait, who am I here?ā
LMAO
Anyway, no problem about the diet stuff. I get all my cravings out of the way with my insulin meal post workout. I say if you want a cookie or soft drink, just get it in after training. I donāt feel the need to cheat later on because I already did.
I hope you get something worked out though.
Your legs made me come back to T-Nation! haha progress is just amazing which is nothing new for you
Wish I could get cravings out of the way - problem for me is that once I start, I canāt stop. Always had a binge eating problem - only way for me to avoid it is not to start in the first place. Anywayā¦ you are looking fantastic! Great training and great progress. What youāre doing obviously works for you.
Pics look great, wheels and core looking rock hardā¦you know what today is, why dont we ruin that session from yesterday with a lil FAF (fat ass friday)!
So which hamstring gets cheated during mixed grip dls? I only ask because I tried on a pair of pants last week and they were way tighter on my left leg than my right. I figured they were defectiveā¦but now I have to wonder is it me?

Me too, Cal. Safest for me to just avoid. For me, cheat begets cheat!
Lol thanks Kalle. Now I have to maintain them to keep you here.
Thanks Cal (at first I spelled it as Kal. I got Kalle on the brain ;D ) I donāt know when to stop either, itās okay.
LOL Matty you already know! I had IHOP; big steak omelette, belgian waffle, pancakes and french toast. I was going to throw some choc chip cookies in the oven but damn, Iām full.
Nadia, the hand that is in the hook grip puts more stress on the respective leg. So letās say my left hand is hook, my right is overhand. My left leg does more of the work. Sucks doesnāt it? One half of me is always stronger than the other and itās things like this thatās to blame.
I didnāt get the chance to do my updates on bodyfat or take pics this morning since I was already running late. Will do tomorrow.
Today was shoulders and arms.
Started off with high rep squats, because I really wanted to back squat yesterday but didnāt. And like Deb proves, nothing wrong with doing some squats again today.

Last one.
Arm day is really growing on me.
I love pictures of Nikki! Arms and wheels are looking fine.
It never occurred to me that a mixed grip might affect which leg was working harder. I always hook with my left hand, and my left leg is weakter. Food for thought here, as always.
That is interesting re: the hook grip!! Good to know.
Looking diesel Nik! Loving the training too. Yeah buddy!
Keep up the momentum girlie 
youāre delts look awesome. Also never occurred to me about the grip/leg thing. Im going to have to start mixing it up just to see what happens. I envy your dips! I still need lots of assistanceā¦
I just started MPs and one thing that helps me is to set my form with the bar before/between sets just to make sure Iām really activating my lats/squeezing scaps together. Also, resting between is key hereā¦ easy tiger
I <3 your delts!
My mission in life is to get cuts in the delts like that.
Prepare for an ass whoopin Nikki.
FST-7 for your life, we can swap it out.
105 is in the bag.
Kim, food of all kinds is welcome in my log. Food of thought is rare here, but glad to get some cogs meshing.
PD definetely rest is key. Lol at āeasy tigerā
Growl baby
MiM I donāt think Iāve ever been swooned before. My heart is smiling.
Ct, Iāll take FST-7.
When you take my life, can my soul be in the same room with you in hell?
Thanks Aqua, when you keep saying it, it has to happen.
If you believe, you can achieve. And you will succeedā¦ what movie is that from? Haha =D
My amorcito got this stuck in my head.
hums
Badass black gym hat FTW. Lookin good lady!
